Uswitch services are provided at no cost to you, but we may receive a commission from the companies we refer you to. If a deal is "promoted" on Uswitch's tables, then it has been lent additional visibility as a result of us securing exclusivity on a great deal, or a commercial agreement to showcase what we believe to be market-leading value to consumers.

Until 2024, many mobile networks have increased contract prices in line with inflation. Starting in January 2025, Ofcom will introduce a ban on inflation-linked price hikes for new contracts. Future price changes will need to be set and fully disclosed in pounds and pence.
Android phones are smartphones powered by the Android operating system. They include the Samsung Galaxy range, as well as phones from Google, OPPO, OnePlus, and Sony.
Android phones range from well below £300 for the cheapest models when you buy outright and off-contact, right up to more than £1,200 or more for the top-of-the-range handsets.
Buying an Android phone outright and then getting a SIM only deal tends to work out much cheaper than buying it as part of a standard monthly contract.
But the catch is that you’ll need a hefty sum upfront to cover the cost of buying the phone.
Monthly contract pricing for Android phone deals also varies widely. Want an older phone? You could pay as little as £10-£15 per month.
If you go for a newer high-end model, you’ll pay an average of £40-50 per month. But expect to pay a lot more if you buy it when it’s just come out.
The comparison tables on this Android phones deals page include phones from different manufacturers.
Filter by price, monthly allowances or just the handset you like the look of to get the Android phone deal that’s right for you.
Periodically, networks will offer Android phone deals with double-data promotions and free gifts. We’ll flag these in our comparison tables to make them easier to find.
Different Android phone manufacturers have different strengths.
For instance, Samsung Galaxy S phones generally lead the way with cutting-edge features but are among the most expensive. Google Pixel phones have some of the best software for processing and taking photos.
Motorola and Oppo phones typically offer some good features at a competitive price.
And Sony phones stand out for their camera capabilities and the quality of their screens.
In our reviews section, we put all the latest phones through their paces.
Choosing between Android phones and iPhones is largely a matter of personal preference.
But below, we’ve compiled a list of the reasons you may want to choose an Android phone over an iPhone.
From multi-lens cameras to curved screens, Android phones usually lead the way. The same goes for specifications, with the top-end Android phones usually featuring more powerful processors, higher-grade cameras and larger screens a long time before they arrive on iPhones.
You can pick up a very good, new Android phone for a few hundred pounds. And if you’re not fussed about owning a new model, they can be had much cheaper still.
The entry-level iPhone SE is £419.
If you shop around you can get some very good free gifts with Android phones, such as cases, camera accessories and even VR headsets. The freebies are usually especially good if you pre-order, with networks in the past having given away freebie bundles worth hundreds of pounds. That’s on top of customer reward schemes, double-data incentives and the like.
However, incentives networks offer to are much more limited. So you may get double-data and customer rewards, but free gifts are a no-no
When you buy an iPhone, you’re not able to change the look and feel of the phone. Choose Android and you can customise the homescreen with wallpapers and themes to make the phone really feel like your own.
iPhones let you choose between three screen sizes, all of which feature broadly similar designs and materials. The sheer range of manufacturers making Android phones means there’s a much wider choice of designs, materials and sizes to pick from.
If you're still not convinced, then check out all of our latest iPhone deals to see which you'd prefer of the two.
